"We don't want people to just listen to our music on a surface level.
We want people to dive into the songs and dissect them and to really
feel them," explains Brent Walsh, vocalist for the San Francisco Bay
Area band known as I The Mighty.

Since their 2007 inception, I The Mighty has melded together
effortlessly and has already built up an impressive following of fans
nationwide, seeing regular rotation on local modern rock station Live
105, and sharing stages and touring with the likes of Deftones, Coheed
And Cambria, The Dear Hunter, Say Anything, Eisley, letlive., and more.
This summer, the band will perform double sets daily on the 2014 Vans
Warped Tour - on the Kevin Says Stage and at the Acoustic Basement Tent.

I The Mighty released their debut full-length album, 'Satori', in
June 2013. Of the new album, Walsh explains, "When the writing
process for the new record began, I was going through a pretty rough
break up. After the initial heartbreak, I did some soul searching and
that's where a lot of the song conceptions for 'Satori' came from. The
word 'Satori' is actually a Japanese Buddhist term for
'awakening' or 'enlightenment' which, when we stumbled
upon it, just felt right. Not only because it embodies sort of what I
went through during the writing process, but because it also carries the
message of what the more politically themed songs on the record are all
about. Not to mention, it's our debut full length and this album feels
more 'us' than we have ever felt."

I The Mighty released 'Karma Never Sleeps' EP, their Equal Vision
Records debut and sophomore EP, in March of 2012. The EP showcased a new
side of the band, offering a heavier, darker sound and moodier ambience
than their previous work. The ambitious and captivating EP, which - like
'Satori' - was produced by Erik Ron (Panic! At The Disco, VersaEmerge,
Foxy Shazam), features six sweeping tracks filled with intense vocals,
catchy hooks, charging guitars and explosive instrumentations that make
for a mesmerizing whirlwind of cinematic soundscapes.

While 'Karma Never Sleeps' envelops the listener into dramatic, dreamlike
imagery of tales of political corruption, desperation and despair,
lyrically infused with powerful and poignant storylines woven around a
theme of 'Karma; Satori' shows a more personalized, intimate look into the
mind and experiences of Walsh. "This is definitely the most
straightforward and honest effort lyrically that I've done, and I'm very
proud of that. Much of our older material, I hid behind the facade of a
story or character. The only song on the record that holds true to that
older I The Mighty style is 'The Frame II: Keep
Breathing', which is the prequel to 'The Frame III: Sirocco'
on 'Karma Never Sleeps'. With the exception of that, the album is almost
an open book, self-lead therapy session for myself; sprinkled with the
typical politically charged songs of frustration."

Musically, the album follows the foreshadowing of the EP, with soaring
choruses, intricate layerings of guitarwork and most notably - a vastly
wide array of vocal dynamics ranging from Walsh's naturally sultry R&B
croon to a delicately dreamy falsetto and even incorporates some of his
most intense vocals to date with the incorporation of a deep, passionate
scream in moments of utmost sincerity and emotional fury. The diverse
deliveries of vocals are further highlighted with exceptional framing of
gang vocals, impressive multi-layered harmonies and dramatic yet
balanced instrumentations.

I The Mighty has officially come into their own with 'Satori' and
are prepared to tour non-stop in support of it - hoping to leave a
lasting and meaningful impression with each and every audience. "We
want to tour the world. We want to continuously put out records that
mean a lot to us. We want to put our own stamp on the music scene by
developing our own sound. We want to continuously set and reach goals
throughout our career so that we can better ourselves as musicians and
people,"Walsh concludes. "And the thing we hope for most...is
that our music means something to someone, the way that other artists
have meant so much to us in our lives."
